If you can set the folder up as an FTP location then ftp_nlist() does exactly this.
Otherwise.. I think I have done this somewhere!? Will try to find relevant code

Found it

public static function getFiles($folder,$ignore='')
{
    $filenames = false;
    // Remove any trailing slash
    if(substr($folder, -1) == '/')
        $folder = substr($folder, 0, -1);
 
    //Can't remember why all these tests are here
    if(file_exists($folder) || !is_dir($folder) || !is_readable($folder))
    {
        // Grab a file handle
        if($handle = opendir($folder))
        {
            $filenames = array();
            while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
            {
                //Ignore folders in the directory
                if(!is_dir($folder.'/'.$file))
                {
                    //Skip DOS shortcuts
                    if(!(!strcmp($file,'.') || !strcmp($file,'..')))
                    {
                        //Skip extensions in ignore
                        if(!empty($ignore))
                        {
                            foreach($ignore as $ext)
                            {
                                if(strpos($file,$ext)===false)
                                        $filenames[] = $file;
                            }
                        }
                        else $filenames[] = $file;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        else throw new Exception('Could not open '.$folder);
    }
    else throw new Exception('Folder does not exist '.$folder);
 
    closedir($handle);
    sort($filenames);
 
    return $filenames;
}

@code green
yes codegreen my mistake but initally i had had the part displaying the title and body for single file when i put the $filename directly ...but i wanted to broaden the horizen and make rewrite for all the files within the directory by reading it..but its giving me the problem then.but thanx for the code i did use parts of it .
